I decide how I will vote based on whether the candidate is close enough to me across all issues. I don't support genocide, but Harris hasn't advocated launching strikes against Israeli military bases. That's a minus. I support aggressively addressing climate change, Harris is not aggressive enough on the issue. Another minus. I believe the government should set prices of goods based on the needs of the populace. Harris wants to impact the prices of some goods, but she supports free market pricing for others. Minus again. I believe in the rights of the innocent in our judicial system. Harris is a former prosecutor.
Harris doesn't check enough boxes for me, so I'm doing what I did in 2020 again. I'm voting for the only person who truly aligns with my beliefs - myself. Please join me by writing each of yourselves in for President in 2024.
First past the post voting is the enemy here. Until we ditch it, it truly is a shitty, shitty two party system where not voting for harris is voting for trump. Normally only gangs and morons think "if you're not with me, you're against me"--first past the post creates a law of physics for voting that makes that dumbass way of thinking the law of the land. And "law" like thermodynamics, ie, not the kind you can flip off the cops and break.
We need to change the rules of the game to ones that don't suck so bad. That starts with fourth reich prevention, which under first past the post can only mean a vote for harris.
